Municipal Barbecue Part II


Another trip out to grill.  This time we headed to the shores of Meadow Lake in Flushing Meadow Park to barbecue while watching the sun set near Shea Stadium, or whatever they call it now.  Since the Mets were playing, we were treated to a blimp flyover while we cooked.

Hurricane Irene's backsplash was evident in the height of Meadow Lake and a couple of downed trees, one of which made a very good seat next to our barbecue pit.  Since Flushing Meadow was built on what used to be the city's ash heap, it felt appropriate to add to the ashes of my ancestors.  (Their fuel ashes, don't be macabre.)
